Dhoom Machale...

Okie...so I finally caught Dhoom 2 (D:2) with Shazadi last nite @ GV Tampines.  I watched it for Abhishek (only!).  Oh ok, yeah, Uday Chopra too.  But I was prepared that I was gonna hide my face 1/3 of the time whenever Hrithik & Aish appears on the screen.

The nite b4, when I told Tehzeeb of my plan, she told me that her fren watched it & wasn't too impressed (as compared to Dhoom).  The only 1 who was gd & worth watching was Hrithik!  Now how can that be when my Abhi is in !?!?  Obviously he has 2b the BEST rite?!  Well, when Tehzeeb told me she was disappointed wif Amitabh's role in KANK, I didn't believe her till I watched it myself.  She was rite!

Anyways, Yash Raj Films today is nothing but skin-show.  Gone are the sweet romantic love stories like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Dil To Pagal Hai.  After Dhoom & Neal 'n' Nikki, I wasn't too shocked when I watched D:2 last night.  Well, yeah, what keeps shocking me is the line up of actresses who're slowly made to shed their clothes.  Of coz, the plus pt for them is they get to tone their bodies into such enviable shape (I'm inspired to shape mine like Bipasha's!).  If there's any 1 thing I enjoyed abt D:2 is the stylish movie-making technique (the stunts, the gadgets, the hero's entry scenes)...oh, okaaayyy...how can I 4get the songs...which has no effect on 1st hearing but will eventually grow on u.  I'm so addicted to the song "Dil Laga Na" bcoz Sukhbir Singh (my fave bhangra singer) sang it!  The beat is also...addictive!!  Choreography was...like...WOW (Use of the word LIKE was intentional ;-p...Shazadi will know what I mean!  Bimbo in the making!).

Enuf of what I like?!  Now, if there's anything I hated abt the movie is Aish...her role...her dialogue-delivery...her dressing...her everything.  But I love her lip-kissing scene with Hrithik though...coz that sure will make my Abhishek boil & break-off wif her! Muaaahhhaaaa...*evil laughter*  I mean for someone who went on & on abt refusing to kiss on screen since her 1st film...then she acted in 2 Hollywood films & yet she didn't kiss the Hollywood hero, much to my disappointment!  I mean, Hollywood & no kissing?!? Can't be rite?!?!  They'll mock Bollywood for being so orthodox.  Haha.  But yes, Yash Raj Films did it!  She finally kissed on screen!  Forget kissing.  She was so scantily dressed, I thought they might as well don't waste even that lil bit of fabric on her!!  If she thinks she looks gd...she can carry on thinking.  Her dialogue...oh Gawd...pls spare me!  There was a scene where she & Hrithik will be in confrontation, Hrithik putting a bullet in his gun & both take turns to shoot one another...that scene was such a drag I almost fell asleep & told Shazadi to wake me up if Ali (Uday Chopra's character) comes on.

On the whole, if u compare D:2 with the 1st Dhoom...then I find the thief-at-work scenes in D:2 were more adrenalin pumping.  I like the starting of D:2 as compared to the "Shikdum" song in Dhoom...which was...like...too provocative for a Bollywood film.  But Abhishek's entry in D:2 was WOW...as compared to him waking up in bed in Dhoom!  Hehe.  Songs were almost the same, nothing great at 1st hearing, but grows on u...matter of getting used to.  If Dhoom had Esha Deol playing vamp, D:2 has Aish...so both equally BAD!!  I admit, Hrithik was damn gd in the movie yaar!  Btr than Jon in Dhoom.  While Jon shared screen space wif 4-5 other accomplices, Hrithik had the screen all to himself.  Of coz, 1 will go ga-ga abt his role coz this is the 1st time u see Hrithik not playing hero but playing the negative character, but he really did justice to the role.  This is the 1st film I thought Hrithik proved himself w/o his father's shadow.  *clap clap*  Oh yeah, I personally think his bod looks damn gd D:2 - well-shaped & lean!  Unlike the usual, beefcake. 

Pretty sure D:2 will be a hit worldwide.  I can feel the heat already.  If u like fast-paced movies wif lotsa hunks & babes...go catch D:2.  A treat-to-the-eye!
